- High-energy electrons from molecules of NADH and FADH2 are transferred to a chain of proteins within the electron transport chain. What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?arrow_forwardIn the electron transport chain (ETC), the electrons carried by an NADH molecule have the potential energy to create 2.5 ATP molecules while the electrons carried by an FADH₂ molecule have the potential energy to create only 1.5 ATP molecules. Please explain why this happens.arrow_forwardAll are characteristics of catabolic reactions except a. have energy poor products b. capture energy in the form of ATP c. require coenzyme like NAD+ d. yield a greater number of products compared to anabolic reactionsarrow_forward
